CREATE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND

Hi Everyone

Hope your week is off to a good start.

I am playing along with the Little Red Wagon Challenge again where the theme for this week has been "Create Your Own Background".  I have to admit that this isn't something I have done very often unlike some blog pals who "always make their own backgrounds" and never use design papers.

But I actually enjoyed it once I got started and liked my finished background so much that I didn't actually want to cover it up LOL!!!

This is my finished offering:

This used:

ScrapBerry's Stencil - Stencil Petals
Distress Oxides:  Peeled Paint, Iced Spruce, Spiced Marmalade
Permanent Fineliner Pen
Memory Box Dies:  "98261" Kaleidoscope Butterfly and "98262" Moonlight Butterfly
Julie Hickey:  JHD-CUT-1003 - Layers, Frames & Banners Rectangle Die Set
Julie Hickey:  DS-HE-1063 - Hazel's Sentiment Medley Die Set
Ribbon
My Trusty Sewing Machine

So that is me for today, I will hopefully catch you again soon.

FLOATING DREAMS

Hi Everyone

I hope that you have all had a really good weekend.  

Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, we reached the last day of May .. ..  so yet another month was done and dusted.

Lots and lots of cards are needed here .. .. so hopefully June (as in the month not a person) will be kind to me and be a hyperactive crafting month so I can get ahead of the game again. 

Some of my weekend was spent in my craft pod and this ranked as one of my favourite makes (just love this cute image and it is great for the pesky male cards that we all struggle with).

This used:

Image Penny Black "1645K" Floating Dreams

Sentiment:  Computer Generated

More of those snippets which just love lurking in my craft pod

I am trying really hard to use up my snippets .. .. the only problem being I cut an existing snippet to the size I want and nine times out of ten I am still left with another snippet (sometimes two).  So the snippets are simply getting smaller in size .. .. .. .. but the quantity never seems any less!  LOL!!!

Let us hope that there is a good week ahead for all of us.
